It's been no secret with the Eastern Orthodox and the Russians in particular that they consider Moscow the "third Rome," ever since Constantinople (the "second Rome") fell, according to the conventional narrative. What Fomenko also points out is that old place names like "Rome," or like cities named "Neopolis" (Napoli / Naples), actually meant something and aren't just abstract names in the modern sense like when we think of "George" or "Johnny." Names were originally more like Native American names, that actually meant something, like "Sitting Bull" or "Crazy Horse." Old Hebrew and Celtic names are good examples of this from across the Atlantic. "Naples" derives from the Greek for "new city" and there were several places named this, so when old texts mention some form of the word Naples, we have to figure out which one is being referenced.
The same is the case for "Rome," except when modern scholars see places like Constantinople or Moscow referred to as "Rome" in an old text, they just interpret it as being flowery language or a metaphor and fit it into their invented history, and so Constantinople is called the "second Rome" (and the whole story of the Byzantine Empire built around that) and Moscow the "third Rome" (and the Eastern Orthodox church has its own story about the fall of Constantinople built around that).
Then there's this:

"Grand Tartary" (depicted here in a map probably from the mid 1700's or so) got wiped out in the late 1700's and early 1800's, and then they stopped depicting it on maps, turned a lot of derogatory propaganda into "official" history, and did terrible things to the people who were living there. Of course a lot of that land is in Siberia and was probably very sparsely inhabited, though other areas apparently were
not sparsely inhabited. I bought a short pdf about "Pougachev's" uprising there and it was a Romanov invasion across the Urals. The local historians in towns on the other side of the Urals have museums that still make mention of the fact that the Romanov armies from Russia basically genocided the people living in these places and destroyed every trace of Muscovite Tartary that they could. Central Asia was invaded soon after.
Whatever the history of this country of Tartary was, it must have been something that someone really didn't want us to know about.
